Cultural Companions in Youghal – Developing Local Connections

 

Cultural Companions in Youghal – Developing Local Connections

Youghal Active Retirement Association Social Subgroup is looking at how Cultural Companions could potentially be developed locally in Youghal. The aim is to create more opportunities for people to connect through arts, culture, heritage and community activities, while making it easier for local members to find out about activities and get together.

A local group could help with coordination in Youghal, allowing members to share ideas, suggest activities and organise opportunities that reflect local interests. This might include visits to exhibitions, music and performances, heritage events, creative activities, walks, talks or simply meeting up and enjoying good company.

We're at an early stage and would really like to hear from people who might be interested in being involved.

Interested in joining a Youghal group?

If you'd like to be added to a specific Youghal Cultural Companions group so that you can hear about local activities and opportunities as they develop, please let us know.

You don't need to have any particular experience or role. Whether you're interested in arts, music, history, local heritage, creative activities or simply meeting other people and getting out and about, we'd love to hear from you.

The idea is to develop something local, welcoming and shaped by the people who take part.

If you're interested in being added to the Youghal group, please contact the Cultural Companions coordinator and let us know at culture@muintircork.com
